Live Alabama Election Results: Roy Moore and Doug Jones Compete for Senate Seat
New York Times ^ | December 12, 2017 | MATTHEW BLOCH, NATE COHN, JOSH KATZ and JASMINE LEE

Alabama votes on Tuesday in a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. The last polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern. Strong support for Roy S. Moore, the Republican, is expected in rural, mostly white parts of the state and in its northern half. The Democrat, Doug Jones, aims to create a lead in the urban counties that include Birmingham and Montgomery, and across a band of largely black counties.

One critical battleground is a trio of smaller, whiter cities: Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Mr. Moore won a hard race in 2012 by keeping things close there. Mr. Jones hopes to win the cities by a convincing margin.

I was one of those fooled by Jimmah and his born-again claims. But then I was a kid barely of voting age.

It has already dropped to around 55/45, Moore still trailing.

I think they were tweaking us...

David Martosko‏Verified account @dmartosko 12s13 seconds ago Per exits, white voters with college degrees went for Moore by 59-37. But Romney won that group by 59 POINTS in 2012. Moore also wins 78-20 among white voters WITHOUT college degrees. That's a much larger group (36% of total)

I was pissed when Ford said in the debate that the Soviets didn’t dominate Poland, he lost the election, right there.

What CNN has reported by their exit polling breakdown, basically shows this thing is Moore’s, they just want people to keep watching.
